A great short story from the expert. I thought Gena's full explanation of her life was too full on as she'd just become re-acquainted with Ricky but you needed to press on into the story. Always amazed at how much you can pack into your stories. All told, an excellent story, thank you.

Many other places this story could have gone. Enjoyed where it went and enjoyed where some of your story took me in addition.

My Gena (Miss Cranbrook) was only 6 years older, but remained a fantasy. A very nice, but frustrating fantasy. Thanks for fleshing it out (as it were).

While the story is nothing special, your writing is. For that reason, 5 stars.

Sweet story, but one correction:

Public school teachers in Illinois reach full retirement at 35 years of service. So, he’d be retired at 58.

I have no problem imagining something very much like this actually happening. Circumstances often don’t allow a May/December couple to make a life together, but that doesn’t in any way diminish the genuineness of their love. At least occasionally, things can work out and they spend the rest of their lives HEA. Bravo, and 5 stars.

Great story, as always. It shows age is just a number. A twenty-one year difference isn't really all that much. In the past quite often the husband would be that much older than the wife and nobody thought much about it. Why should it be any different than the other way around, if both parties are in agreement. My wife is older than me though not quite as much as this couple.

BIG 5 STARS for a wonderful story!

Your usual 5. Would have liked the story to be a few pages longer. Looking forward to the next one.

Good thing our heroine could figure out what she wanted well enough to lead MC by the hand....

More eroticism would be a 5

Hmmm, cannot seem to vote 4.8..., 5 it is

The last paragraph says it all "We're not as good as we once was, but we are as good once as we ever was". RIP Toby Keith.

Women tend to be the central characters in my stories, because I find their complex personalities to be fascinating. My stories come from my life experiences or the thoughts inspired by people I have met. I am an avid fan of history and especially the history of the America...
